Bestowal dialogue

'The ploy to frighten the fishermen worked rather well. I think we should use it again on the huntsmen and see if they scare as easily as their kinsmen.

'Try once more to make these woods look haunted, so that the rumours will follow these Men back to Stangard and weaken their desire to come here for another generation. Good luck -- and try not to be spotted by the hunters.'

Background

Since your prankish tactics worked so well to persuade the fishermen to leave, you have been asked to try the same ploy on the huntsmen from Stangard.

Objective 4

The Rohirrim leader of the hunters' camp is in the northwestern woods of Thinglad.

Since your tactics are not working against this stubborn Rohirrim, you should try speaking with him instead of trying to frighten him away.

Elf and High Elf version

Wynmar: 'A Dwimordene and not a ghost, eh? You want to scare us off, and I see the edge of your haunted wood nearby. Perhaps you see us as trespassers.

'We shall go, but only if you return our missing hunter to us. He has not been seen since daybreak, but would not have wandered far. Have you seen him? Are there others you could ask for news of his fate?'

Man, Dwarf, Beorning and Hobbit version

Wynmar: 'A <race> and not a ghost, eh? You want to scare us off, and I see the edge of Dwimordene's haunted wood nearby. Perhaps you see us as trespassers.

'We shall go, but only if you return our missing hunter to us. He has not been seen since daybreak, but would not have wandered far. Have you seen him? Are there others you could ask for news of his fate?'

It would seem that one of these men has gone missing, and his companions are concerned for his fate
